Wei Dou Shu: Purple Star

Explore Zi Wei Dou Shu, the Chinese Purple Star chart, through twelve palaces and the fourteen main stars. Create a birth chart, follow its relationships and read an original English guide alongside the traditional Chinese names. YOUR TWELVE PALACES Enter a Gregorian birth date and the local clock time. See the converted lunar date, Life and Body palaces, five-element bureau and a traditional twelve-palace map. Tap a palace to read its subject, main stars, supporting stars, opposite palace and two trines. STARS AND TRANSFORMATIONS Browse all fourteen main stars, from Zi Wei and Tian Fu to Qi Sha and Po Jun. Four supporting stars are included: Wen Chang, Wen Qu, Zuo Fu and You Bi. The chart shows Lu, Quan, Ke and Ji from the birth-year stem. DECADE CYCLES Explore twelve ten-year periods with their traditional nominal ages. See the current decade focus and read how lunar New Year and the traditional cycle-direction rule determine it. CONVENTIONS YOU CAN SEE Choose how late Zi hour and leap months are handled. Select the common transformation table or the consulted Quan Shu variant. Each saved chart keeps its own choices, making it easier to follow the method you study.
